Being that I owed him 24 million over the next 2 seasons. 12 million this season.... does that still count against me? Anybody know?

The system does not allow me to 'delete' the adjustment. So looks like I'm stuck carrying his 12 million for 2 seasons into retirement.

I guess he was shamed into retirement by tm. He had self esteem issues.

No major league with a salary cap, to my knowledge, is without a method to allow teams to write off salary for players who suffer career ending injuries or retire early. I know hockey and basketball both have provisions, I'm not certain about the NFL.

Yeah you're stuck with it, the early retirement is designed to simulate career ending injuries but I still think it's illogical for it to count against the salary cap.No major league with a salary cap, to my knowledge, is without a method to allow teams to write off salary for players who suffer career ending injuries or retire early.

Wonder if a great (Cy Young winning) season followed by a overly bad season triggers it?

no its a thing tyson is just trying out, he picked some at random and coded them to retire early.

you can (as in, you are able, because this is beta) but you shouldn't. its supposed to be a thing to make folks think twice about offering all these long term deals,( i guess), or to simulate something in reality (whether or not it reflects reality, i don't really know). it isn't a thing i suspect would go over very big in the leagues where they pay for the teams. i don't know.

Would I be pissed that this guy retired and I'm still paying him in a real legit type league? I don't know...

I do wonder how this might go over in a 'real' pay league.Would I be pissed that this guy retired and I'm still paying him in a real legit type league? I don't know...

(well, the pay leagues use system 3, so probably they just have an A- pitcher rotting in the minors that is already counting on the payroll and they just promote it.)

guys retire wile under contract in the pay leagues but they are the 35 year old or sometimes 34 with usually a year left on their deal. In the AML it is seen as the chance you take when you go into the decline years. A guy retiring at 32 (and presumably in the middle of a long term deal) would probably not be taken as well

Besides, in free agent/cap leagues, the economics necessitate playing any underpriced asset in the majors...so you won't find useful players rotting in the minors.
